E-40 - Tell It Like It Is lyrics

rate me

How can I help you

What can I do for ya

Lookin' for that China white

Girl that's soft

If I ain't got it

I know where to find it

If I can get it for you

Boss

How much you got in your budget

The more you buy the less it costs

I could front you a few off the side

As long as your ass don't double cross

You crossed a lot of raccoons

Get your cranium sawed off

I got mouths to feed my n****

I can't afford to take no loss

I can give your ass a number

It's up to you to keep it quite

You can't be a punk about nothin'

You gotta keep the money comin'

I'm out here

Dealin' with these suckers

Stopin' the fake ass

Busters

They stab your ass in the back

These brothers turn on you

I know when it's gonna get short

How long this sureness suppose to last

I ain't got the weather channel

To predict the forcast

The plan is hustlin'

'cause there ain't no work there ain't no job

So they stuck in playing this game

And the next thing they gonna rob

Two faceded little ol' heathen

Workin' with the law

Man no matter what you do for n****

They ain't never gonna be satisfied

Tell it like it is

My whole thing is like

Why dudes be lettin' cats get in their ear though

I'm just tellin' it like it is

I don't know what the fuck happened between '96 up into now

N**** is hoes

I'm a tell it like it is

Man n**** is going out backwards man

Kill all this snitchin'my n*** what's up with that

Tell it like it is

If there was a snake it would've bite ya

See you've been fallowin' so many n**** you wouldn't even know what hit ya

Now you don't know which way to look

You don't really know which way to turn

Got you trying to protect yourself

With all the bridges you done burned

You n**** cry to us nowadays

N**** feelings get hurt too easily

Might as well wear a tampon

Might as well be a breezy

A closed mouth don't get fed

And a lazy hustler don't get bread

Pimpin' I can't read minds

I don't know what's in your head

Everybody think they know it all

Wanna hear nobody speak

Shut the fuck up and listen sometime

Even if you an O.G.

Personally I'm a grinder

Let no grass grow under my feet

Don't nothin' come to a sleeper

But a dream

A vision without a plan

Is just a hallucination

I gotta lotta folks in the pen

Programmin'

I'm gonna give it to you straight

I ain't gonna give it to you late

I'm a tell your ass what's real

I ain't gonna tell ya nothin' fake

Man I got my own dreams

Everybody wants me to finance theirs

Tell it like it is

You know who I like I like that boy 40 man

He's 20 years in the game and he consistent

Just tellin' it like it is

Not all of them but allot of these new dudes is

Ringtone rappers man

I'm a tell it like it is

Fools just have one album out

And act like they just it

Tell it like it is

Same song third verse

It's from the heart it ain't rehearsed

The world is full of associates

But very few friends

That wanna contribute nothin'

But wanna help spend your ends

Think before you rock yo mouth

Park your tongue and lip

Watchin who you talkin' round

Never know who you're havin' dinner with

Ain't got nothing good to say

Don't say nothin' at all

That's what I was told

That's what I was taught when I was small

A lot of theses so called artists got too much

Talent

You should be getting' your money on

Instead of hatin' on the next man

It's lonely at the top

But it's next to crowed at the bottom

Tha's why I always keep my pistol cocked

In case I gotta stop em'

...

Trunk full of slap

Hollerin' at em' back

Pocket full of scraps

Nothin' but thousand stacks

I'm old school

Actin' a fool makin' my presence known

I look at business face to face

Don't like to talk on phones

When I'm at a stop sign or a red light

I leave one car space in front of me

Tell it like it is

Just so I could have enough room to get outta there

Just in case someone try to pop at me or something

Tell it like it is

That's how I was raised

I'm still a student of the game

You could learn from a baby

I'm a tell it like it is

Man I was hollerin' at my grand partner

He said 40 return phone calls and you'll keep your friends

Tell it like it is

Bitch

You two faceded ass mother fuckers

I didn't just help create my music mother fucker

I invented it

Everybody wanna know what the fuck mob music is

N**** this is mob music

Poor ass mother fuckers

Bitch
